It remains weird to me that even in NYC there are people who cannot comprehend that not everyone sees Christmas as a neutral, secular, and universal holiday.

if this Supreme Court nullifies the 14th Amendment then i don't really have any problems with Democratic officials ignoring federal law for the foreseeable future
at that point we're just in a state of exception

he uhhhh talking about a quid pro quo here... in a social media post
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

There has been no debate here among constitutional scholars, historians, political scientists, anyone with a pulse really.
Any telling you that this very straightforward point, one that has been universally accepted for a century and a half, is now an "abstruse" issue is just a liar and a hack.

Anyone who knows this history should know there’s no contested issue.

A future D Secretary of Defense - should one ever come - will need to suspend the clearance of every last person affiliated with a16z, 8VC, Founders, & Sequoia and pull clearances from every portfolio company pending comprehensive drug testing, financial review, & CI screening.

Sometimes, the very concept of big-business money makes my head hurt. So, Facebook's Metaverse fell through, wasting 77 billion.
You could hire 10,000 of the smartest people in the games industry, paying them each $100k a year, for an entire decade, and only spend $10bn.

Apart from anything else, this really embodies the Playmobil approach to workforces that politicians often fall into — it’s all very well and good to laud “frontline” NHS workers but without backroom staff the entire service would actually collapse.
Hey everyone, here's the news, if you aren't a high earner, entrepreneur or a "skilled frontline worker" (whatever the fuck that means) the "Labour" Party says you aren't contributing, you're a taker!
This is so disgusting.

DS9 literally cast Louise Fletcher, actor to portray the most evil villain in film history, to play one of its two primary villains and she wasn't even the most evil villain in the show!
"TNG and DS9 didn't have Villains" is certainly a Take™️

"you shouldn't torture because it's wrong" is correct and would be sufficient but you don't ever need to get there because "torture doesn't fucking work" is also correct and does not rely on any shared morality

So much of coding even pre-AI consisted of knowing of projects that did bits of what you wanted to do. I don’t think I’ve coded anything “from scratch” like, ever, not since “Hello world” for sure.

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

Democrats targeted by Trump for ‘illegal orders’ video say strikes prove their point
The video by Democrats sent Trump into a rage last month. But some Democrats say the story of double-tap strikes proves why they needed to release it, Eric Garcia writes
